ok, i just washed my bay ... and i took pics, so ill post those in like 30 mins after i eat

EDIT:

here's my version of an engine bay cleaning:

1) Cover <from left to right> Alternator, Distributor Cap, Battery, Fuse box area (not always necessary IMO)

2) Spray cleaner (in this case, Foaming Engine Brite) on areas that have grease/oil/dirt ... let sit for 15-20 mins

3) Take a hose (using either the Shower or Jet setting ... i use both ... and clean off all the Cleaner and dirt)


4) You'll know its working if you see this:


i let the car sit for at least 6 hrs, but overnight is preferred - if you start the car and you smell something burning or see a lil smoke, its usually the Engine Brite burning off ... and if the car seems weak, and is misfiring, then the distributor cap is still wet ... i drove mine for an hour once while it was doing this and it took an hour for it to burn off all the moisture
